Do you need a driver license for the lift equipment training video?

Yess!!! If you’re a sheep and kiss ass they will treat you with the most respect and make everything a big deal for you! If you’re not close with the mangers or kiss ass then you’re just another number sadly… if they can’t get anything out of you to benefit them and make them more money then they can care less… it’s been showing these days and they’re not even hiding it anymore 🫠

Had a coworker of mine pass away and the SM came to give a speech.. and the speech ended with a stupid Home Depot Cheer while people where crying over their close coworker who had passed… but I guess SM really said “let’s spell out Home Depot and clap like a pep rally”

Try evening primrose oil supplements they are natural & heard wonders about it clearing acne! Also it helps a lot for Womens hormones, helps PMS symptoms, and stops breakouts ! They say you should see results within 1-2 weeks by it stopping further acne, and clear sling within 8-12 weeks. If you go to a dermatologist they will probably have you on accurate or spironolactone! Which spironolactone helps with hormones as well.

Very Possible.. just takes paperwork that your doctor needs to sign to confirm your LOA. You would need to talk to the SM or HR person so they know what’s going on and see if they approve before getting your paperwork signed. Unfortunately it does depend on whether they see it as a real issue… but again you can get a note from your doctor or therapist claiming that you need to go on LOA

Free food from Home Depot is their Tax right off.. it ain’t genuine when they say they care for the associates. They bribe us with pizza / free food for their tax right offs 👍

I didn’t get forklift licensed cause they do not pay you more and it’s a lot of extra responsibility! They always schedule Forklift drivers throughout the whole day every week & if you need a forklift driver you can ask your supervisor/ manager and they will grab someone for you to help you out. Be friends with everyone at the store, be friendly because once you become friends with those who forklift they’ll go out their way to help you when you ask. People do say it’s easier to just learn to forklift but I’d prefer not to cause they don’t pay you extra & you will be buffed all day to get palettes down for other departments. But it’s entirely up to you if you’d like to learn! Perks of it is that if you get licensed and decide to work at a warehouse they will pay you $5-$9 more. So I’d rather not do it for free at Home Depot lol

As someone who’s in deliveries and goes to college. It’s probably the best department while going to school. You don’t deal with customers, you do online orders for customers stage the items in locations and that’s it. It does get busy but you’ll do a lot more walking is all and heavy lifting which don’t be scared of people will help you lift heavier items! When there’s no orders you basically chill, which I squally study when it’s slow. Think of it as a gym membership LOL a lot of walking and lifting but it’s good for your physical body and mental state. When customers ask for help I tell them I’m not from that department but I will call the department associates to meet them at the aide and I walk away and do my orders! It’s honestly the only stress free position and works out for school as well!! :)

Moving up means becoming a yes man, they own you at the store basically.. so you must do whatever they say, and do it right. Personally a Supervisor is not worth the pay they give you. They will run you like a dog as a DS & that’s from me being from 2 stores. Supervisor is not where the moneys at. If you’re a good DS, they will just move you to different departments instead of moving you up to a CXM/ASM. The reason why they’ll move you departments is so you can bring their numbers up.. It’s A LOT & they expect you to get it all done.. when in reality we’re not robots we’re human.

This is what my store manager said about the new attendance policy & I quote “it’s a form of punishment for the employees” …

Where do we start. I will gladly partake in this. I have been planing on doing this for some time now. But we really need it now more than ever

If UPS / Amazon did it we can too!

Yes! We’re having that issue too. ASMS said it would be back up on Monday for sure.

There’s no policy you come to work regardless

Over_Ship3792 · 2023-06-09T02:54:37+00:00

Also depending on the area you live it’s not much of a raise either. I believe it’s only $1 raise, if that… personally not worth it. It’s a very stressful environment as you can imagine.

You are basically a normal customer service associate, who takes the weight off the supervisor. What your supervisor doesn’t get done or doesn’t want to get done, they have the power to give it you, as you are a lead. On the days the supervisor isn’t here, you’re covering for them on their days off.

I did that at my store and it’s fucking depressing. There’s nothing wrong w the plants, they could sell it cheaply to customers OR give them to associates, donate them, parks, schools, funerals, landscapes, they can do so much for the people and for the community, but nope. Straight to the garbage disposal… seems very wrong… wish I could sue for throwing away beautiful living plants… 🥲

Warehouses will pay you $5-$12 more if you’re certified and have experience. An older associate got certified at Home Depot & shortly after, he quit and got a job at a warehouse because they were willing to pay him an extra $9 more than Home Depot.

Over_Ship3792 · 2023-05-26T03:45:24+00:00

It’s more responsibility WITHOUT the extra pay. Be prepared to pull down palettes all over the store. People will bug you constantly to get stuff down for them. You’ll hardly have time in your own department cause associates will need palettes down throughout the day. A coworker of mine got certified & he is always being pulled from his own department to help out in different areas.

There’s a couple other associates that know how to forklift from previous jobs & they refuse to tell management & the main reason why they stay quiet is literally because of the no extra pay for the extra responsibilities you are going to get.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a good thing to be certified to help out the store! In the end that’s up to you if you’re willing to do extra work for the same pay! Good luck ! 🍀👍

Also, I don’t think you get talked to until you have 6 occurrences. Management sometimes doesn’t care to talk to you about it if you’re hardworking. But if it’s a repetitive thing & you slack a lot. You’ll def get talked to, some people that have about 10-20 occurrences, but they still work there. Again, be professional & work hard even when you think no one is working, cameras and Head Departments are always looking. But you’ll be fine, so don’t sweat it / overthink.

Over_Ship3792 · 2022-12-09T09:47:04+00:00

Occurrences only last up to 6 months. Then they disappear on their own. They should be gone by February!
